We loved our 4-night stay at Casa Lucia. Julie and Hannah’s communications were flawless. They were friendly, approachable and personable. I loved they had pre-arrival information to update you on the location, house and island.
The house is perfectly described in the pics and better in-person. I was impressed with how clean it was - especially the showers. We went with two teen boys, my in-laws and brother-in-law. Hannah had an extra trundle bed, so our boys didn’t have to share a bed. My in-laws loved sitting outside watching the ocean. The kids enjoyed the pool, playing football out front and using a golf cart to roam . We BBQ a couple of times. The kitchen was well stocked. My favorite part is that the items were not cheap $1 store items. For example, the pot was Cuisinart. The toilet paper was like Charmin. There were cleaning supplies like Clorox wipes. I didn't feel like they cut corners or stocked the house with cheap furniture, towels or bedding.
There were basics like ketchup, salt & pepper, hot sauce, tin foil, etc.
The beds were comfortable, pool clean and plenty of room for everyone to spread. Wifi worked great. Kids got Netflix while the in-laws could watch their shows. I loved working on the deck, outside and inside tables. Air conditioning was great and the ceiling fans worked perfectly. There is even a nice one in the master bedroom bathroom. Always love having laundry too. We loved the ceilings were so high and vaulted. It didn't make us feel on top of each other. There were beach chairs, coolers and some pool toys.
We had only rented a Club Car golf cart. We even paid Hannah to pick us up at the Ferry (which was super easy both ways) and she helped us arrange a last-minute car. She had great connections.
The golf cart is great for cruising around. Get it from Vieques UTV since it's so close to the home. We dropped it off and walked back to the house. That said, it does make it hard if it rains only to have the golf cart. At some point, after the initial fun of it wears off, you realize it takes you a lot longer to get places. Many of the other beaches are on the other side of the island. If we had to do it again – we would go with just a car. Also, check restaurant schedules – they’re weird and not continuously updated. And, because there are many wild horses , there is a front gate before the security gate that keeps the horses out. You must manually open and close this gate each time leave/return.
